Target entity: Airy 1830 ellipsoid
Context triple: [British National Grid, usesEllipsoid, Airy 1830 ellipsoid]
  • A. Airy Modified ellipsoid
    The Airy Modified ellipsoid is a slightly adjusted version of the Airy ellipsoid used as the reference surface for mapping and geodetic calculations in systems such as the Irish grid reference system.
  • B. Maclaurin spheroid
    A Maclaurin spheroid is an oblate, rotationally symmetric ellipsoidal figure used in astrophysics and geophysics to model the equilibrium shape of a uniformly rotating, self-gravitating fluid body.
  • C. Roche ellipsoid
    A Roche ellipsoid is an equilibrium shape assumed by a self-gravitating fluid body that is tidally distorted by a nearby massive companion, important in the study of close binary systems and tidal interactions.
  • D. Humboldt meridian
    The Humboldt meridian is a principal survey meridian used as a reference line for land surveying and mapping in parts of northern California.
  • E. Earth gravity model
    The Earth gravity model is a mathematical representation of Earth's gravitational field used for precise positioning, navigation, and geodetic calculations.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
